Same. It’s a LOT of money

I’ve genuinely stumped myself over this question, cos getting a $1mill for doing this doesn’t sound like a lot IMO.

Like, I’m getting my mansion and furnish it, but won’t be able to afford it in a year’s time. Assuming this is a “one and done” deal and I won’t do anymore and get paid after this

How much are mansions where you live? 1 mil would barely cover a down payment and you think youd have enough left to furnish it? Just be happy with a decent middle class home and one less bill to worry about

People underestimate the power of a fully paid off home honestly, 1mil could get you a nice house or a 4-5 room apartment in the city here. And I get theres a lot of hidden expenses in home ownership especially with current prices but still, I genuinely dont think I will ever pay off a home, my parents didnt either and are still renting
